GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Patriots looked to be fading fast in Super Bowl XLIX, but New England climbed its way out of a 10-point hole behind the power of a playmaking defense and an offense that never panicked.

"Stuff happens, it's not like that big of a deal, and, you know, he's won four of six," Vollmer said. "He always has been the best, I don't think there are too many doubters for that."

Vollmer pointed specifically to New England's come-from-behind win over the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs as a road map for rallying against the Seahawks.

"It doesn't really change," Vollmer said. "We've been in those games, I mean Baltimore, it was kind of slug it out. We've been in those games before, you just got to keep doing what you're doing. There's really no secret formula."

Honestly, I wanted to see more emotion from Vollmer. More cut-loose verve. But that isn't how these Patriots roll. The locker room in victory had the feel of a Week 3 win over the listless Titans.

Not to take anything away from New England, though, because that ability to reveal little, stay level and peer only at the next challenge is one reason it's a waste of time talking about anyone else as a legitimate dynasty.

"You don't pay too much attention to it," Vollmer said of the ups and downs. "I mean, we've got to get ready for the next drive."
